The province is entitled to at least five judges: two for the Municipal Circuit Trial Court (MCTC); two for the Municipal Trial Court (MTC); and one for the Regional Trial Court. 


But these slots are all vacant after their respective presiding judges retired. Compounding the situation is the lack of interested applicants to fill up the vacancies.
